Unlike the other companies I met with, the RGS salesperson wasn't a kid. He had solar on his own house and could answer any question I threw at him. Their price wasn't the absolute lowest, but they had better equipment with a longer warranty, and my local electrical inspector said they did the best work he had seen. I've learned the hard way that the "lowest" price is definitely not the "best" price.
My only gripes are that the process took longer than I expected, and communication wasn't always great (maybe it was a busy time). However, the installation crew was fantastic. They were able to hide the conduit by running it inside my house through the closets to the breaker panel in the garage, and everything looked great when they were done.
Fast forward to today, 4 yrs later: Everything has been working flawlessly, I have not paid an electric bill since 2011 (I have a $172 credit at the moment), and the system has nearly paid for itself already. I'm looking forward to another 20 or 30 years of free electricity from the Sun!
